Abstract

The review addresses the influence of polyelectrolytes on the statics and dynamics of thin liquid films. Both, changes of interfacial and bulk properties, contribute to the overall behaviour of thin films formed from aqueous polyelectrolyte solutions. Therefore, the chapter is separated into two parts: polyelectrolytes at film interfaces and polymers in film bulk.
